Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2014 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Seven-character Calligraphy Couplet by Yang Xian. The auction ended at the price of HKD 30,000.00 (€ 2,837.24), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 25,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yang Xian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Twelve-Character Couplet In Clerical Script in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 295,000.00 (€ 32,468.23).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2014 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seven-character Calligraphy Couplet von Yang Xian zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 30.000,00 (€ 2.837,24) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 25.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yang Xian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Twelve-Character Couplet In Clerical Script im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 295.000,00 (€ 32.468,23).
